Ultra-lightweight anodized aluminum wire is soft enough to manipulate without the use of tools. Color is applied five times throughout the manufacturing process to build permanency. Tarnish-resistant wire can be used for wire-wrapped jewelry, craft applications and home décor. For optimal results, dip tool tips in Tool Magic® heavy-duty rubber coating to prevent scratching or marring wire. Color may vary from dye lot to dye lot. Due to the manufacturing process, wire may be in 2 sections. Wire gauges are approximate.
